go because of obamacare. right now, today, dr. fleming. mr. fleming: you have costs going up, jobs going down. we know there's supposed to be 32 million americans more covered under this than otherwise. half of those are estimated to go into medicaid and doctors across the country are dropping medicaid and so where are these people going to end up? ha they'll end up in emergency rooms, not in doctors' offices like was anticipated. let me get to something that i think is real important because you remember that we brought up the idea that there would be committees that may make a decision about what kind of treatment you may or may not get. now, we know that they exist in canada and in the united kingdom, but we started talking about these, i know that sarah palin, governor palin made mention of these and the left blew apart. they said, you're talking about death boards. shame on you. for scaring the american people. ok, let me tell you what's really happening. this is being reported now. the president has nom

of obamacare and co-sponsor legislation for repeal of obamacare. when we get enough signatures on that, we'll put a discharge petition down here at the well, a discharge petition with 218 signatures on it, requires the bill to come to the floor for debate and vote without amendment. if we could do that we could pass out of the house and if the senate could do that we could pass out of the senate a repeal of obamacare that could then go to the president's desk and president obama would certainly, almost certainly, veto the bill. all right. so the not -- some will argue it's an exercise in futility. but i put on my website and the website, thekingforcongress dwo.com website, a polling question that asks this question, do you believe that obamacare, 100% of obamacare, is more likely to be repealed or do you think that the cubs are more likely to win the world series? cubs fan. and, do you know, 2-1 of people answering the poll were predicting that it was more likely that obamacare would be more likely to be repealed than the cubs to win the world seri

particle of obamacare left in this federal code. if we leave it, it's the equivalent of going in and removing a malignant tumor and leaving part of it there. it still has a great risk of metastasizing. when that happens, it's the death nell to freedom and liberty in the united states of america. we are not so other people. we are not the mirror of europe stirring in the later generations of more newly arriving immigrants, legal and illegal. we are unique people, we have a unique character and unique quality about us where we stand alone apart from the rest of the world. for a lot of reasons, mr. speaker. some of those reasons are self-evident and some of those reasons are in the declaration and some of them are in the bill of rights. some of them are in the the constitution in a broader sense. to enumerate some of those reasons for american exceptionalism. it's not politically correct to talk about this, but we need to do it. we have the rule of law. the foundation is the constitution. the philosophy for the constitution is in the d

the antidote to obamacare. >> guest: it is a brilliant indictment of obamacare shortly to be followed by the top ten myths of obamacare which we will be issuing later this year or next year but the full disclosure, sally pike is wife. [talking over each other] >> i am recognizing what is truly there. >> host: philadelphia. >> caller: hello. how are you? >> host: 18 thank you. >> caller: i have discussions with people who admit they are conservatives and i yet have had once to had met segregation for example was a conservative philosophy rooted in property rights and rights of free association and the government's need to enforce those rights and attitudes. would you be able to admit or define where segregation fit in the conservative philosophy? >> guest: i think segregation is the opposite of the conservative philosophy. segregation historically was an invention of southern democrats who were sore losers in the civil war and wanted to repress and suppress blacks in the legitimate exercise of their new found constitutional rights and their inherent natural rights. they couldn't reinst

but there existed up until obamacare passed, 1,300 health insurance companies in america. 1,300 companies that produced a variety of policies numbering to 100,000 policies. so who could imagine that one more company and a handful more policies was going to provide more options for people that would help with the competition, take some of the profits out of the industry? if these 1,300 companies competing against each other, mr. speaker, could take the profit out of the industry, how could the federal government do that? regulate and subsidize. that's what governments do. they regulate and subsidize their competition out of existence like they did on the flood insurance programs in 1963 and the student loan programs, cullmy nated this year and now here -- culminated this year, and now here we are, obamacare, the law of the land that nationalized not just three large investment banks, fannie and freddie, and student loan, now they've nationalized our body the most sovereign thing we have, the federal government has taken over the management of our skin and everything inside it and decided w

>> you have congressman date we do this reporting, welcome to obamacare. 25% of america's children ares. that's part of the irony there. >> sean: your sauce is low sodium. >> i wish i had a jar. put 200 kids through college, low sodium, no transfats and no cholesterol. >> buddy's product has all the new -- nutritional information on the front that is important that you put the label out and make it easy for people. >> sean: cigarette smoking, onion ring, french fry and cheese burger -- why won't she lecture him first. >> i'm sure she does. >> with all these labels and that is nice we do and that can be helpful we do have an obesity problem. it goes back to parenting. >> sean: i love junk food. i have one solution either i bring it in the house and eat it all or i don't bring it in the house. so i don't bring it in the house. >> i monitor what my kids eat, we don't have sodas in the house. >> if they had put a piece of broiled fish in front of him and the hamburgers or the buffalo wings, we all know the cure. we know don't smoke, don't ding, go to bed early. -- don't drink, go to bed ea

pro-life, pro-gun, anti-obamacare and he won. they're in a district where the democrats outnumber republicans 2 to 1. that is a reflection of the voters' mood right now. that mood is we do not want to see the obama/pelosi/reid agenda, the transformation of america continue. we need to take steps to stop it. it's also a message, though, with that victory there in pennsylvania 12 of the democrat for republicans, for common sense constitutional conservatives to ride the momentum of the voters' desire for a change away from what obama is doing to the country, but not take anything for granted, not just assume that everyone on board, though democrats who are quite conservative, a reagan democrat ty typele in critz who just won, are not necessarily on board with all the changes that need to take place to stop this obama administration's agenda and pelosi's and reid's agenda that will harm this country. >> chris: but i do have to ask you, because you're quite right. mark critz, the democrat in the special election of western pennsylvani

the health care bill is now law, obamacare. and when we say open, we mean that we want things to be done out in the open, not in closed door sessions in the speaker's office but out here on the floor of the house and in the committees and subcommittees, open and obvious means we are going to do it so you can see it. let the sunshine in as the song goes, and let's see what's there. and yet, we look at how this gigantic takeover of at least 1/6 of our nation's economy by the federal government was done behind closed doors in a massive bill that arrived at a point in time where no human being could have had a chance to look at it in any detail and was shoved down the throats of this congress and the american people. that's not open. that's not obvious. but more importantly, when you take the chair, as the speaker of the house, and you take on the rules of this house, both sides of the aisle respect in this building, thomas jefferson. thomas jefferson, the declaration of independence. wrote rules. and those rules have been followed

that had been nationalized, the banks, insurance, freddie mac and fannie mae and car companies and obamacare. that's 51%. mr. akin: based on the amount of revenue, the size of the business? mr. king: based upon the private sector activity as annual idsed by dr. boyle from arizona state university. mr. akin: wow. that is absolutely incredible. in the last year or two we have seen history being made. mr. king: one would consider it to be a done deal. and then we are on the cusp of the financial regulations which is 15% of the economy and add another 8%, which is a low estimate of what cap and trade would actually do to us. i don't know what's left. whatever part of the economy they would like to take over, but from my standpoint, every bit of free enterprise that is out there, increases vitality of americans. they get a reward. not enough to work hard but work smart. everything the government takes over lowers the american productivity and reduces our gross domestic product and takes our standard of living down. mr. akin: it makes sense economically. and i heard people talk about this. you can

furthermore, it is an excellent tool to cut health care costs while obamacare itself provides no such tools. -- i find it ironic that the name of the current law, the patient protection and affordable care act, betrays the fact that it drives up costs for patients and their employers. if you truly support health care port ability, i ask all of you to support h.r. 5126 which restores this valuable tool that saves costs. thank you. i yield back. . the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio rise? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. >> thank you, mr. speaker. can you believe it, the united states house of representatives under democrat majority have delivered the largest tax reduction in america's hurt to middle-class families? that's right, 95% of american workers got a tax cut in the stimulus bill. now, the stimulus bill acted as a backstop against further job loss and helped create some jobs along the way, like what's happening in my district. one i

speaker, how many promises will obamacare have to break with the american people before we repeal this disastrous legislation? remember when it passed -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia rise? >> unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extends my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> mr. speaker, we've been asking all afternoon, where's the budget? we've even sent out bloodhounds trying to find this budget. mr. speaker, in 2006 congressman steny hoyer, who is now the house majority leader, was quoted as saying, enacting a budget was the most basic responsibility of gerning. and congressman john spratt, who is now the chairman of the house budget committee, said, if you can't budget, you can't govern. mr. goodlatte: now we're a month past the deadline and speaker pelosi and the democrati leadership are showing no signs of complying with the law and coming forwardith a budget for fiscal year 2

the times square terrorist, faisal shahzad, was not a tea party going taxpayer, opposed to obamacare. there's no excuse for this reckless smear of the majority of americans who oppose the government takeover of health care. it's irresponsible to play political games with national security. and even though homeland security secretary napolitano won't use the word terrorist, all the indications are this was an act of terror. now, the terrorist, faisal shahzad, was captured on an airplane bound for dubai. the airlines contacted the authorities to say he made a last-minute reservation for the flight, got on the plane after paying cash. he is from pakistan. somehow this radical terrorist was granted american citizenship in 2009. shahzad told the f.b.i. he went through a terror training camp in pakistan. sounds like a terrorist to me. this is where the taliban operates, the same pakistani taliban that immediately claimed responsibility for the times square foiled attack. reports say shahzad has been in pakistan for several months and eight people now have been arrested in pakistan, two of t

we also warned that obamacare, mr. leader -- and my friend from wyoming who will result in higher costs, not lower. a prediction not only by the c.b.o. by the bravest man in america, c.m.s. actuary richard foster, who it is amaze to go me that he is still on the job, thank goodness. recently backed all of that up in terms of higher premiums, higher costs, rationing, access to doctors by the elderly and has renewed his warning time and time again. so now our predictions are coming true, and president obama's c.m.s. nominee, dr. berwick, will be the man who cuts health care costs by putting the rationing plans into practice. we'll call it cost containment but it will be rationing. i hope my colleagues will join me in carefully reviewing the statements and the speeches and the books and everything else that good dr. berwick -- the good dr. berwick has stated in the last 30 years on rationing. i think that if we do that, that most of us will agree that he is the wrong man, wrong time, wrong job. and i thank the leader and

even massachusetts rejected obamacare.as a nation simply need, if we would just follow the constitution, that is why the state sovereignty task force was created. not only will we be able to balance the budget, protect our children from an affordable tax rates, but also have a more accountable government run by locally-elected, state -- who better? who will you have more influence over? or the congress? that is fundamentally where we are coming from as the task force. host: let me read this -- these are the people on the task force. the last call for mr. culberson is from trenton, new jersey. caller: good morning. i like to argue two questions. host: do you believe in change? guest: we as a nation will have to change. medicare and medicaid will go bankrupt. we will be overloaded with spending we cannot pay, but with tax rates that are not affordable. we have to get back on the path of fiscal restraint or our children will be crushed with tax rates they cannot afford. yes, sir, i do believe in change. that is what we are ad

if you look at the obamacare bill, which will turn out to be absolutely impossible to sustain -- for example, the estimate for the cost of the high risk pools just came out this week. eight times, tha is 800%, more expensive than the estimated three months ago if you look at the congressional budget office recent recalculation, it pushes the cost of the bill above $1 trillion. if you lookt -- we produced at the center for help transformation -- you can go to help transformation.net, and we produced a chart of the 159 new offices and agencies. the chart is 3 feet by 6 feet because and ordered to be a book to read 100 but denied different agencies and office said it took 3 feet by 6 feet. how can these people believe in such gigantic centralized bureaucratic government and then, as you point out, you go back to the fabian socialists and you sort of begin to understand. they are honestly and authentically secular socialist spirit of the system they are trying to build a machine. that is why i have been running things through the matter what the american people think. and the purpose of

who has been an individual that has spent many hours, as i have, here on the floor, talking about obamacare bill and about ethics and governing. we are honored to have judge john carter from texas. i yield to you. mr. carter: i thank my friend for yielding. if i was sitting with some of the members of this august body that live -- that are live just a normal life, thoy they ought to be looking at this, folks back home ought to be looking at this thinking, how do you spend all that money without having a budget? then they think about what kind of great deal would bit at my house if i could just say, you know what, kids, mom, i'll tell you what let's do. let's just do whatever makes us happy, let's pick up all the pet projects in the world that we favor, and let's just spend our money on that let's go out and buy the things we want to buy. let's go plac we want to go and do things we want to do. and let's -- we're going dosh that budget we used to have, throw it in the trash thch year, let's don't budget. mom, i don't want you to worry we don't have a budget because we don't need a budget. he

not to mention obamacare. and now we have the financial world that is -- our effort to take that over. i'll stand and oppose these changes. i'll stand and oppose them for a lot of reasons, perhaps an opportunity i can get into a little bit later in this hour, mr. speaker. the federal government should not be making arbitrary decisions on which businesses succeed and which ones fail. it should not be in position evaluating, and if there is credible evidence of an entity, a corporate entity, financial credit entity, credible evidence as to whether or not they might be in trouble, that would give the secretary of the treasury the authority to pull the plug on the company, take it over by the federal government, bring regulators in to intimidate them before or after the fact. this is -- it gives this bill, this chris dodd bill or barningy frank bill, it gives -- barney frank bill, it gives the federal government the authority to take over any business that they so choose. now, i hope to get to this. but at this mo

obamacare does not add a single care to those liabilities. the problem with socialism is that sooner or later you will run out of other people's money. right now, we are running out of our children's money and our grandchildren's money. for the moment, it might feel safe especially if you have a reserve currency like the dollar. people are still interested in buying something like a sovereign debt for government debts but that is what they said at lehman brothers, as well, on friday, september 12. the markets were still interested in lending them money. they still believe in them. it took lehman brothers 158 years to build the credibility. it took them one weekend to lose it when people understood that they would not be able to put their financial house in order. to sum up, we have tried to bridge this recession. the bridge that we build was so expensive that we will have problems when the growth rate in the future -- it will be a problem to build something more out of this bridge. it is a bridge to nowhere, in other words. i am an optimist b

for that reason, i sign a pledge to repeal obamacare four months ago.go back to a previous question, i think it is very important what is going on in afghanistan. they do not present an existential threat to the united states. they do not have an industrial base. they do not have armies. they are terrorists. because of the fact that afghanistan has no means of national support for a large army, where is the end game? do you propose we stay in afghanistan until they form a modern democracy? for heaven's sake, their constitution was drafted by the french as a part of the nato mission. i am an intelligence officer. i am in lieutenant-colonel. i have studied this issue. we need to kill our enemies. we do not need to build a modern nation state where one cannot exist. >> there are some many problems with this health care bill that we must repeal it. let's start with the fact that it does not solve any of the problems that it would solve. i battled breast cancer last year. that is why my hair looks strange. i lost it all during chemotherapy. it made me an inv
